Frequently Asked Questions

A REST API providing access to 3.7 million parcels, 7+ million assessment records, sales transactions, and building details across all 92 Indiana counties. It consolidates data from the Indiana DLGF, county assessors, and multiple CAMA systems into a single, fast, well-documented API.

Developers building PropTech products, real estate analytics tools, insurance underwriting systems, mortgage/lending platforms, government applications, and academic research projects. Anyone who needs programmatic access to Indiana property data.

Sign up for a free account to get your API key. The free tier includes 50 requests per day -- enough to prototype and test. Our quick start guide walks you through your first request in under 5 minutes.

All endpoints return JSON. Parcel geometry is available as GeoJSON (RFC 7946). The API follows RESTful conventions with consistent response envelopes, pagination, and error codes documented in the API reference.

Yes. The free tier includes 50 requests per day, 10 requests per minute rate limit, and 1 API key. No credit card required. It covers all endpoints -- there are no feature restrictions, only volume limits.

On the free tier, requests beyond 50/day return a 429 status code until the next day. On paid tiers (Starter and Growth), you can enable overage billing -- additional requests are charged at a per-request rate ($0.003/req for Starter, $0.001/req for Growth) so your application continues working without interruption.

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. You can manage your subscription from the dashboard billing page.

Enterprise plans include unlimited requests, custom rate limits, dedicated support, SSO integration, SLA guarantees, and IP allowlisting. Contact us for custom pricing based on your needs.

Yes. Annual billing is available for Starter and Growth tiers at a discount. Contact us or select the annual option in your billing dashboard.

Approximately 3.7 million parcels covering all 92 Indiana counties. This includes residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and exempt properties.

Parcel geometry and Gateway assessment data are updated quarterly from the DLGF. CAMA data from county systems (Beacon, Elevate, self-hosted ArcGIS) is refreshed on a per-county schedule, typically monthly. Sales data from the Indiana SDF is updated annually. Check the status page for per-county freshness timestamps.

39 of 92 counties have enriched CAMA data from county assessment systems (Beacon, Elevate, self-hosted ArcGIS). CAMA data includes additional fields like owner name, review year, legal acreage, and property class codes. All 92 counties have foundational Gateway assessment data from the DLGF.

Gateway data comes from the DLGF's statewide fixed-width data files and includes assessed values (land, improvement, total), property class, and basic characteristics. CAMA data comes from county-level assessment systems and adds richer detail: owner names, sale dates/prices, legal acreage, grade, condition, and building specifics. When both sources exist for a county, CAMA fields are preferred.

Yes. The /parcels/{id}/assessments endpoint returns assessment records across multiple years and data sources. Each record includes the assessment year, source (Gateway vs CAMA), and full assessed value breakdown.

Yes. Parcel boundary polygons are available as GeoJSON through the parcels endpoint. The API also supports spatial queries: radius searches (find parcels within X miles of a point) and bounding box queries (find parcels within a geographic rectangle).

API key authentication via the X-API-Key header. Each account can have multiple API keys (1 on free, 3 on Starter, 5 on Growth, 10 on Enterprise). Keys can be rotated with a 24-hour grace period where both old and new keys work.

Rate limits vary by tier: Free (10 req/min), Starter (60 req/min), Growth (300 req/min), Enterprise (custom). Rate limit headers (X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset) are included in every response.

The Growth and Enterprise tiers support bulk endpoints with higher page sizes (up to 1,000 records per request vs 100 on lower tiers). For full county-level data exports, contact us about Enterprise bulk access.

TypeScript and Python SDKs are in development. In the meantime, the API is a standard REST API that works with any HTTP client. The full OpenAPI 3.1 specification is available for code generation.

The median response time is approximately 127ms for parcel lookups. Spatial queries and search operations are typically under 500ms. The status page shows real-time latency metrics for each service.

The underlying property data is public record. You can use API responses in your applications and display data to your users. However, bulk redistribution of raw data (e.g., reselling the dataset or creating a competing API) is prohibited under our terms of service. See the data license page for details.

All data originates from public Indiana government sources: the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) for statewide assessment data, county assessor offices for CAMA data (via Beacon, Elevate, and ArcGIS systems), and the Indiana Gateway for government transparency data. Sales data comes from Indiana Sales Disclosure Forms (SDF).

Yes. Indiana property assessment records, parcel boundaries, and sales disclosures are public records under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act (IC 5-14-3). Our API provides structured, programmatic access to data that is publicly available but otherwise difficult to aggregate from 92 separate county systems.

We target 99.9% uptime for all paid tiers. The free tier has no SLA guarantee but typically meets the same standard. Real-time and historical uptime data is available on the status page.
